i personally point all of my 'secondary' servers at theirs for the 'primary' or master. having my box slave off another of my boxes that is a slave is sort of like rip routing - dns by rumour anyone... i prefer this method because then they are the 'only ones' who can screw up the zones...(not really, but it takes once piece out of the chain and makes troubleshooting easier for me) ymmv /joshua up@3.am wrote:
This question might be more suitable for inet-access, but it's down, so I'm resending here:
Silly question:
If you have a customer who is doing their own primary DNS, but you are doing their secondary DNS (on 2 of your name servers) for them, is it better practice on your 2nd DNS server to xfer the zones directly from the customer's primary DNS server (a second secondary DNS server) or xfer it from your first server (the customer's secondary server) doing "true tertiary" DNS? Or should the tertiary use multiple masters?
Thinking about rewriting the scripts a bit...
